I70.729 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of atherosclerosis of other type of bypass graft(s) of the extremities with rest pain, unspecified extremity. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.

The ICD code I70 is used to code Atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis (also known as arteriosclerotic vascular disease or ASVD) is a specific form of arteriosclerosis in which an artery wall thickens as a result of invasion and accumulation of white blood cells (WBCs) (foam cell) and proliferation of intimal smooth muscle cell creating a fibrofatty plaque.
